Toronto Police have arrested a second man accused of making a death threat against Mayor Rob Ford. His office says that the mayor has been subject to many threats and police are taking precautions. Ford meanwhile has said that he won’t change his policies because of it. Over the first seven months of his tenure as mayor, Ford has been personally ridiculed and described in the media as someone who is trying to destroy Toronto., create a generation of children who are illiterate and much else. You don’t have to like Ford to understand that he was elected, not because he is graceful or refined, but because the city is broke. A lot of his supporters regret that the mayor isn’t more urbane. But can we stick to the critical issue?
